Vedas 40 - Kathopanishad - Part 2 C - The Art Of Meditation Comments

Profound, I quote: The Soul is beyond logic or reasoning, It cannot be grasped easily By arguments alone, It reminded me a Sufi song Tum ek gorak dhandha ho....... I quote few lines from it: हर ज़र्रे में किस शान से तू जल्वा-नुमा है हैरां है मगर अक़्ल के कैसा है तू, क्या है? फलसफ़ी को बहस क अंदर खुदा मिलता नही, डोर को सुलझा रहा है और सिरा मिलता नही

The poem begins with Yama pronouncing the powers of chanting of 'AUM' which brings purity, tranquility, enlightenment and self-realisation to the seeker of truth. He goes on to explain the most central part of Hindu philosophy about Atman and its attributes. Thanks for such a nice series, Geeta ji. I quote: (somehow I missed this important part) The Self or the Atman is neither born nor dies, It is smaller than the smallest, It is also greater than the greatest,

What stands out to me in this one, Geeta, is the statement that the Self (which I equate with God’s spirit) is smaller than the smallest and greater than the greatest. The are infinities in both the nano and macro worlds which defy our perception and understanding. But in that Self or Spirit we get glimpses of the vastness beyond our finitude. -Glen

How can i ever thank you for this wisdom dear Geeta. this is great. you are exposing to us in a readable way the wisdom of the Upanishads.. As a young man i tried to read it as a student. But left it because it was tiring to read and to grasp such long treatises.. thank u, thank u, thank u. please write more and more here.. tony

Having being satisfied on the dialogues of Nachiketaa the king of death, Yama, agreed with to provide knowledge and wisdom to him. He first clarified the meaning of the mystical sound A…U…M and then about the Soul or Atman that you have so astutely delineated here. Let me cite..... The Self or the Atman is neither born nor dies, It is smaller than the smallest, It is also greater than the greatest, It resides in the heart of all. A beautiful poem shared amazingly.10
